The command you provided is using the package manager called pacman with the sudo command to perform system-wide package upgrades. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • sudo: It is a command used in Unix-like operating systems that allows a user with the necessary permissions to execute commands as the superuser or another user.
  • pacman: It is the package manager used in Arch Linux and its derivatives (such as Manjaro). It is used to install, update, and manage packages on the system.
  • --upgrade: This flag specifies that the operation to be performed is an upgrade of the specified packages.
  • ${path-to-package1-pkg-tar-zst} and ${path-to-package2-pkg-tar-zst}: These are variables that represent the paths to the package files with the extension .pkg.tar.zst. You need to replace these variables with the actual paths to the packages you want to upgrade. These package files are typically downloaded or obtained from official repositories.

By executing this command with the appropriate package paths, the pacman package manager will upgrade the specified packages on your system, ensuring you have the latest versions installed.
